After an amazing breakfast – best we’ve had in a hotel I think – we started our long drive. Made stops along the way looking at all sorts of amazing views – waterfalls, fjords, adorable little villages, mountains etc. We stopped for a nice lunch in Grimstad.
The day went without any problems and we made quite a few stops along the way. 600 km and 12 hours later we arrived in Stavanger and checked in to the Victoria Hotel in the harbor in the old town. We went out for a late dinner and enjoyed great food at a fish restaurant sitting outside at 10PM. Now it’s time to hug our pillows. Another day in the car awaits.
Drammen
We got up early and got ready to start our journey right after breakfast. It was a lovely sunny day and very little traffic on the road so the trip went without any problems.
We stopped a few times to change driver and also to get a bite to eat. First stop Arboga, then Karlstad and last stop Årjäng to get some gas before we entered Norway. Then we did a fourth and final switch when we had about an hour left. Arrived in Drammen about 8 hrs since we left this morning.
We managed to find the hotel with no problem and it is quite alright but not situated in a very busy area. Unfortunately a lot of restaurants and stores are closed due to the holiday – May 1st – so we’ll see where we will have our dinner tonight.
